Abstract
Neurofibroma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumour. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is caused due to an autosomal dominantly inherited disease due to an alteration in the long arm of chromosome 17. Patients are diagnosed with skin lesions (café au lait spots and neurofibromas) as well as bone malformations and central nervous system tumours. The treatment of neurofibromas involves surgical resection.
